Overview

The Dark Goddesses is a four-part descent into the underworld of the feminine psyche, guided by myth, Jungian theory, and depth psychological practice. Through the figures of Persephone, Hecate, Medusa, and Nyx, this series explores the archetypal dimensions of descent, liminality, wound, and shadow. Each class opens a symbolic landscape where the participant encounters the disowned aspects of the feminine—rage, instinct, intuition, and power—long relegated to the unconscious.

Somatic patterns and psychic material are approached as living expressions of these archetypes, revealing how they emerge at thresholds of transformation. The program parallels the process of individuation by cultivating the capacity to remain present within disorientation, to see in the dark, and to reclaim what has been split off. The final integration emphasizes ritual containment, allowing the psyche to metabolize these encounters and return with a deeper, more embodied sense of self.

Each week includes Q+A, reflections, and deepening of the presented content.

Course Schedule:

Week #1 Persephone: descent as passageways into deeper authenticity.

Week #2 Hecate: Crossroads and liminal spaces as necessity for individuation.
